Ovaries
Description
The 2 main female reproductive organs that are located to the right and left of the Uterus
and connected by Fallopian Tubes. The Ovaries are Endocrine Glands.
Biological Function of the Ovaries
Hormones
Sexual Steroid Hormones are manufactured in the Ovaries in response to
messages from Gonadotrophic Hormones:
Androsterone is manufactured in very small quantities by the Ovaries.
Oestrogens are manufactured in the Ovaries.
Progesterone is manufactured in the Ovaries in response to messages from
Luteinising Hormone (LH).
Small (but biologically significant) quantities of Testosterone are manufactured
by the Ovaries up until Menopause - this Ovarymanufactured Testosterone contributes to female Sexual Desire - after Menopause
approximately 35% of females have reduced Sexual Desire due to the cessation of
Testosterone production by the Ovaries (the other 65% manufacture enough Testosterone
in their Adrenal Glands to sustain their Sexual Desire).
Sexual System - Female
Ova (egg cells) are manufactured within the Ovaries (this process is known as
Ovulation) - these eggs are released during Menstruation.
These Substances Enhance the Function of the Ovaries
ENDOGENOUS SUBSTANCES
Hormones
Chorionic Gonadotropic Hormone (CGH) stimulates the Corpus Luteum of the
Ovaries to produce Progesterone.
Luteinising Hormone (LH) stimulates the process of Ovulation in the Ovaries.
Prolactin stimulates the production of Progesterone within the Ovaries.
EXOGENOUS SUBSTANCES
Carotenoids
Beta-Carotene concentrates in the Ovaries.
Zeaxanthin concentrates in the Ovaries.
Minerals
The Ovaries require Calcium for the production of Oestrogens.
Vitamins
Vitamin C concentrates in the Ovaries.
These Substances are Toxic to the Ovaries
Amino Acids
Excessive consumption of Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) causes atrophy of the
Ovaries [scientific research - mice].
